The Gym...

When I had my baby 2 months ago, I received a free 1 month membership to this pretty nice fitness center that's affiliated with the hospital in some way. I got it yesterday and went in tonight. It was pretty nice. I've read a lot of articles about how weight lifting is missing from most women's workouts. So I wanted to make sure I incorporate it whenever I can. For my workout tonight I ran half a mile, then did a bunch of weight lifting. I alternated between upper body and lower body. I was by myself, which always makes me a bit self-conscious. But I had my music on so I was able to retreat into my head a bit. I paid close attention to how the machines said they were to be used to make sure I did it properly. It felt pretty good. I finished my workout with another half mile, then came home. I don't know how often I'll be able to get over there to workout, but I look forward to adding this to my routine. At least for the next 30 days. :)
